I've been listening to a great radio play called The
Department from Radio 4. It's very sharp satire. This afternoon
I listened to the episode where the team tackle terrorism, and it had
this brilliant rant:

"Well our problem here is that right from day one the War on Terror
has been based on the wasp's nest principle, which thinks that the
best thing to do if you've been stung by a wasp is to follow that
wasp back to its nest and hit the nest with a big stick, and then
keep repeatedly hitting the nest with a big stick until the stripey
little shit has learnt its lesson."

That is going straight to the signature
file, the email equivalent of the pool room.
